Descriptive Annex
1 NAME AND TYPE OF INSTRUMENT

The designated certified weight indicators are designed to be connected to a load


receptor to form a Class III and IIII, Non-Automatic Weighing Instrument. The
instruments can either be mains or DC battery-powered, self-indicating,
Non-Automatic Weighing Instruments.

The indicators consists of analogue to digital conversion circuitry, microprocessor


control circuitry, power supply, keyboard, non-volatile memory for storage of
calibration and setup data, and a weight display contained within a single enclosure.

2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

2.1 Construction and devices

The digital weight indicators are fully described in EC Test Certificate GB-1495.

2.2 Load cell

Any compatible load cell(s) may be used providing the following conditions are met:
− There is a respective OIML Certificate of Conformity (R60) or a test
certificate (EN: 45501) issued for the load cell by a Notified Body
responsible for type examination under Directive 2009/23/EC.
− The certificate contains the load cell types and the necessary load cell
data required for the manufacturer’s declaration of compatibility of
modules (WELMEC 2, Issue 5, 2009, No 11), and any particular
installation requirements. A load cell marked NH is allowed only if
humidity testing to EN45501 has been conducted on this load cell.
− The compatibility of the load cells and indicator is established by the
manufacturer by means of the compatibility of modules calculation,
contained in the above WELMEC 2 document, at the time of verification
or declaration of EC conformity of type.
− The load cell transmission must conform to one of the examples shown
in the WELMEC Guide 2.4, “Guide for Load cells”.

2.3 Digital load cells

The 3590 or 3590E indicators may be connected through the serial line with up to 64
digital cells which may be of the following:

Manufacturer Model Test Certificate Issued by


Flintec RC3D TC6586 NMi
HBM C16i D09-00.46 PTB
Scaime CB50X-DL TC7078 NMi
Dini Argeo RCD TC7547 NMi

When digital load cells are used the number of verification scale intervals is limited to
the number specified in the applicable EC Test Certificate.

5 APPROVAL CONDITIONS

This certificate is issued subject to the following conditions:

5.1 Legends and inscriptions

5.1.1 The remote display bears the following legends on or near the display:

Max
Min
e=

5.1.2 The instrument shall bear the following legends:

Accuracy class
CE marking
Green M
Serial number
Manufacturer’s mark or name
Certificate number
Other required markings, e.g. temperature, tare, where applicable

The markings and inscriptions shall fulfil the requirements of Paragraph 1 of


Annex IV of the Directive 2009/23/EC.

6 LOCATION OF SEALS AND VERIFICATION MARKS

6.1 The data plate is secured, either by sealing or by being of a form such
that it is destroyed when removed.

6.2 Components that may not be dismantled or adjusted by the user must
be secured. Common serial numbers, a wire and seal solution or a suitable mark
may be used. The securing mark may be either:
− a mark of the manufacturer and/or manufacturer’s representative, or
− an official mark of a verification officer.

6.3 Verification marks and CE-marking shall be grouped together.

6.4 When software sealing is used, the CONFIG and CAL counters’ values
shall be written on a tamper-evident label on or near the rating plate.

7 AUTHORISED ALTERNATIVES

7.1. Combined multi-platform weighing system

The following weighing system is assembled by using a series of approved digital


platforms/load cells and weight repeaters connected to form a single weighing
instrument. The indicator/display receives the weight information from the digital
platforms/load cells via a hard-wired connection or by utilising RF transmission. The
indicator/display can be used in a fixed position or it can be used as a portable
device staying within the permitted RF range of up to 100 m (according to
environment condition).

4/10
The weighing system can be configured to use up to 32 digital platforms/load cells
which are all connected to the digital indicator/display. The indicator/display receives
the weight data from each digital platform/load cell, with the total weight value
displayed on the primary digital indicator/display. If any of the other platforms within
this weighing instrument has its own weight display then these must be disabled
when used in this configuration.

When configuring/calibrating/verifying/using the instrument in this configuration the


digital platforms/load cells are to be treated as a single load receptor with the load
applied simultaneously to all platforms/load cells.
